Look, I am sure nothing will come of this Battle of Belarus. Like Tyson-Spinks in 1988, there is just too much hype. But fuck, it was the easiest headline I ever wrote. Tune in to the CBC at 7PM and let the fun begin.

Your preview is Jaro starts and I agree with HFF33, Habs Suck. Panger, on the other hand, is an idiot.

It gets funnier, kelly '1993 baby blue bandana boy' hahahrudey says he and ron mclame 'KNEW' 2 years ago that Drew Stafford would be an NHL star. Man do I miss Eric Desjardins popping a couple by that overrated sieve.

Don't worry everyone. The Habs will be mad as hell after this, they won't let it happen again. We know this because they'll tell the media as much in the post match interviews. Then they'll put in a effort somewhere along the road trip and all will look OK for a while until the arse falls out of the team's play once again.

1: Hey, didn't expect to see you here tonight. By the way, when are you planning on ever having another shutout? "Next time"? Sure, just checking.

2: Thanks for showing up tonight buddy. Nah, don't worry about it, it's only a game right?

3: Why are you even here? You do realize you're job is to stop them from scoring, right? Hamilton's not even that far, couldn't we've call up Denis? Yeah, that's right buddy, I'm asking about MARC FUCKING DENIS.

4: At least if we'd left the net empty tonight we could've gotten a sixth skater out there. Thoughts?

5: WHERE IS YOUR PRIDE FOR FUCK SAKE

ps. Carbo's reaction after the game: "We can't sink any lower than this." Can we give the job back to Demers before Carbo proves himself wrong again?

As many people pointed out on HI/O, you have to wonder whether at least a part of this falls to the goaltending coaches. It seems like Price's first instinct these days is to go down into the butterfly - I can't remember the last time he made an athletic save. I'm not saying he has to be Dominik Hasek or Tim Thomas, but wasn't he originally a hybrid goalie? Are the coaches pushing the butterfly too much?

About Four Habs Fans

The Four(-ish) Habs Fans are four(-ish) Habs fans. Three are from Montreal, though one of those is now stuck in the middle of the Red Mile. The other somehow grew up a Habs fan in the middle of Ontario Cottage Country, and now lives in Hogtown. Some of them are lawyers, so they are opinionated, and may or may not be assholes.

HabsFan29 is a lifelong Montrealer who decided the Four Habs Fans' email exchanges about the Habs were just too stupidly amusing and occasionally intelligent not to share with the world. The 29 is for the greatest (only?) Goalie-lawyer-PM candidate ever. He would like his mom to know that his meth habit is overstated on this blog for comedic effect.

HabsFan4 paid tribute to one of the finest gentlemen to ever don a Canadiens sweater. His legacy as one of the pioneers of the Gangsta Rap movement has always been understated. His Jaro posts will be recalled fondly by all.

HabsFanForever33 aka Panger is a Montrealer in Exile currently residing mere blocks from the Red Mile, yet whose passion for all things Canadiens has only embiggened with distance. HFF33 worships at the altar of St. Patrick. Panger still gets chills recalling the moment he met the greatest goal-scorer of all time, The Rocket. HFF33 is a life-long Habs fan, except during the Houle-Tremblay Era, when Le Club de Hockey Canadiens was dead to Panger.

HabsFan10 grew up watching Le Demon Blond on Radio-Canada with his unilingual English Dad in a WASPy little town in Maple Leafs country, at least until the playoffs each year, when he got to hear Danny Gallivan and Dick Irvin because the Leafs played on opposite nights (if they made the playoffs at all). Rick Middleton and Cam Neely sometimes haunt his dreams. He thinks Thurso, Quebec should be declared a national historical site. If you aren't sure what the 10 in HF10 stands for, you're on the wrong site, buster.

moeman born in l'Estie'd'Québec, was baptized Maurice because well his Mom, seeing his beautiful dark locks and glaring eyes knew he'd need a namesake, actually it was his Mon Oncle Yvon that CHristened his Habstism, deep in central Ontario no less. He took life's circuitous route and blessed his own son with the name Patrick in 1993. He also has a gorgeous daughter but she's a Sens fan, so, meh. moeman loves women, wine, song, women, Habs, his kids, women, iOS Apps, hockey blogging women and women. His other passion, he hates the leaf. He also loves women.
